Still using puppy pad for a wee and occasional poo but Scout still wants to clean them which is only natural so she is carrying on as soon enough it will all be down to us!
Discovered a great sounds app on Kindle called Calm Sounds Volume 1 (includes fireworks, crowds of people cheering and fireworks, thunder, lightning and heavy rain, car sounds (engines, horns tooting etc), crowds of people, police sirens, traffic noises, aeroplanes, baby crying, other dogs barking, cats, household appliances e.g washing machine, grooming tools, door knocking and bell ringing, (highlighted this section as will be referred to again below).
It is my intention to play this daily and build up the puppies threshold to every day sounds to help them in every day life.
All handled and ears stroked and feet held. Puppy movements i.e. left, right, bottom up and on their backs. Dobby is the only one that gets a bit upset so working extra with her on this.
Decided to start weaning and give 1 meal a day to start with. Made a raw chicken paste with chicken breast and goats milk. Gambit was not interested but Dobby had the biggest feed which is good as she is slowest to put on weight so hopefully this will help. Scout ate with the pups and growled at them when they got too close which I suppose is naturally what she would do in the wild. Arnie was the next best eater and a long sleep was had by all after the excitement. Very messy with the pups walking in their food but they were all cleaned up afterwards.
